Marriage is the crowning of the perfect union of two twin souls. The tangible sign of two peoples desire to build something strong and enduring as a symbol of their commitment to each other. In the world of horology, such marriages are referred to as partnerships and involve a similar level of commitment.

They also tend to come following long courtships as they mark the start of an important new path in business for both parties. Exclusivity, technology, passion and style are the shared core values that lie at the heart of the partnership announced by Hublot and I perhaps the most legendary car brand of all, Ferrari.

BIG BANG UNICO FERRARI

The birth of the first Ferrari timepiece could be nothing less than explosive: hence the Big Bang Ferrari. Characterized by its larger case, 45.5 mm in diameter, with a cylindrical bezel that dramatically showcases the movement visible through the sapphire dial. An indexed crown (with Hublot’s “H” logo automatically positioning itself to remain in line) features elongated push buttons, fixed along a rotating axis like the pedals in a car whilst the carbon inserts give the case its distinctive look. The watch comes with two interchangeable straps with an innovative quick­change system inspired by the safety seatbelt mechanism. The tone on tone stitching is a nod to the signature upholstery craftsmanship typical of Ferrari and their age old leather craftsmen partner from Modena, Schedoni.

UNICO ENGINE

The UNICO chronograph movement, entirely developed and manufactured in­house by Hublot, powers the Big Bang Ferrari, similar to the powerful engine in Ferrari iconic racing cars. With no fewer than 330 components, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the column wheel and dual horizontal coupling on the dial side appear in a new constellation reminiscent of Ferrari alloy wheel rims. The timepiece has a 72­hour power reserve.
